Does this benefit me and the sim. ???
My Dad didn't think it did anything really.
Here are the results... do you think it'll help?
The other drives were so small, and they onlytook a few minutes to defragment.
This is the first time I believe in years I have done this and they say to do it regular.
After I had done it... it still said it needed doing. ???
I re-did it another 5 times. Each time it did it much quicker. The first time toook ages.

I'd like some feedback here - as I'm pretty ignorant.
Thanks,
BEn

ok, but what do those results say? You think it was bad?  ???

P.S How often is regular? Every month?

Well it still says it needs doing. I've done it 5 times... it now takes only a minute - but the colour code bar seems to imply it’s not even half done.
I'll show you... I'll just get a screenshot.

From the look of it...alot of your HD is still fragmented......

I been getting the same problem...my PC refuses to defragment my 'C:\' drive...the 'E:\' drive defragments just fine...



If it defraged correctly, it should look some thing like this ^^^

*Thats how it looked 30 seconds before it was defragmented again *

One really intreasting that I seen with this stuff is that once I got really bored and was just stareing at the thing.......and suddently a green bar jumped from the left side of the thing and onto the right side

Jeff

P.S. I dare not post a shot of my 'C:\' drive............I might start a angry mob

Are you running XP?

If so then I'll find the registry edit that gives you a right clickl defrag option on the menu.

It runs a defrag in a DOS type configuration and may solve your problem.

Yes I am. I think Jeff looks like he may benefit too!

I don't understand the last two things.... can you explain?
Do I right click that weird REG_SZ which comes up with edit string and whack in DEFRAG.EXE %1 ?
Then close it up? You mean just click it off?

I think that's the problem. I'll remember next time!
I'll secretly cause a fatal error to the computer... then Dad will have to reload Windows....

Ben - Off to mess up the registery....
